Creating a Crop Production System in Erbil: The Determination of a Catchment Area to Cultivated Area Ratio - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: 90.0, Salahaddin University (Agriculture College), language: English, abstract: Imagine a world where even the most arid landscapes can flourish, where water scarcity is no longer a barrier to bountiful harvests. This vision fuels an in-depth exploration into the realm of rainwater harvesting, specifically tailored for the semi-arid Erbil Governorate in Iraq. This research delves into the critical relationship between catchment area and cultivated land, seeking to unlock the optimal ratio for maximizing crop production in water-stressed environments. Uncover the secrets of transforming barren land into fertile ground as this study meticulously examines the impact of diverse soil treatments on runoff inducement, employing both natural rainfall analysis and cutting-edge rainfall simulation techniques. Journey through a comprehensive review of water harvesting methodologies, drawing from global historical practices and focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities within the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. Discover the crucial design parameters for water harvesting systems, from microcatchments to floodwater harvesting, and learn how to assess the key factors - rainfall patterns, soil composition, topography, and socio-economic conditions - that dictate the success of these vital initiatives. Gain invaluable insights into the selection of appropriate crop production systems, tailored for row crops, trees, and rangeland, and understand the intricate factors that govern runoff, from rainfall intensity to land slope. Explore the innovative use of mechanical and chemical treatments, along with flexible and rigid membranes, to enhance runoff inducement and revolutionize water management. This study not only presents detailed methodologies for runoff measurement and estimation but also provides a blueprint for sustainable agriculture in water-scarce regions, making it an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and anyone dedicated to creating a more water-secure future. Explore topics such as winter crops, wheat yield, runoff coefficient, soil moisture, and water quality, all within the context of promoting sustainable crop production and mitigating the challenges posed by limited water resources. Learn how to design effective water harvesting systems, analyze rainfall data, and implement soil treatments that can significantly enhance agricultural productivity in similar semi-arid environments worldwide. This investigation offers a pathway to transform arid landscapes into thriving agricultural ecosystems through sustainable water management practices. Unlock the potential of rainwater harvesting and contribute to a future where water scarcity no longer limits agricultural prosperity. This research provides a crucial foundation for informed decision-making and sustainable development in regions facing similar environmental challenges.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: 90.0, Salahaddin University (Agriculture College), language: English, abstract: In arid and semiarid regions, where annual rainfall is not sufficient to sustain plant growth and crop yield to an acceptable limit, it is wise to encourage and collect runoff from marginal lands and lead it to cropping areas. Therefore, a series of experiments were conducted under natural and simulated rainfalls to identify the most appropriate catchment to cultivated area ratio for crop production system. The system covered some selected winter crops (viz, wheat, barley, lentil, faba bean, and chickpea). The study encompassed the following trials: Characterization of rainfall in Erbil, the calculation of water requirement for some selected winter crops in Erbil using four different schemes, testing the effect of various soil treatments, examining the effectiveness of different soil treatments in the field under actual rainfall events via establishing twelve runoff plots, runoff strip experiment and applying a related model to determine the appropriate C:CA ratio for some selected winter crops under various soil treatments. The most important natural resource in the arid and semiarid zones is rainfall. Although limited, it is generally poorly managed and mostly lost with little benefits. Furthermore, its uneven distribution throughout the season makes rainfed agriculture a risky enterprise. Rainwater harvesting is particularly advantageous in the rainfed areas, where crops can be produced with low yields and a high risk of failure. Water harvesting systems under the abovementioned condition can provide enough water to supplement rainfall and so to increase and stabilize production. Water harvesting is becoming a reliable strategy after the recent drought period. The benefit of water harvesting is not only to secure or increase crop production, but also to decreasing soil erosion, improve soil fertility status and to recharge aquifers tapped for irrigation. 208 pp. Englisch.
